What you're describing is bad editing, J and L cuts are used constantly when editing and more often than not you wouldn't even notice. You would find it much more distracting if everything had a straight cut, but bad technique is bad technique. It's very common for bad editors to use long audio cross fades on j-cuts to make lazy edits. And don't get me started on cross dissolves!
